How does seat posts quick release work?
- I have a bicycle with a seat tube that has the slit located on the REAR of the seat tube (slit facing rear wheel).
- I have another bicycle with a seat tube that has the slit located in the FRONT of the seat tube (slit facing top tube).
I took off the quick release clamps off both bikes. Now, I don't know which way to put it back on. Do the bolts go where the slit is?
Does it matter?

I do not actually see one in your pictures but a quick release for the seatpost would work in the same manner as the ones on your wheels. now I agree wanderer that the BOLT on your seatpost clamp should go where the slot in your seat tube is.

clamping force is the same.
